I don't believe that this is a bug, it worked fine all the time.
Btw, I just checke the ISC website and RC12 is available. You could try it
with the newer version.

[Devil-linux-develop] dhcp-3.0.1rc11 bug

[Diego T. <dt...@co...>]

sourceforge has been out of order all the day, so i post this here:

cc -g   -I/data/build/tmp/dhcp-3.0.1rc11/includes -DLINUX_MAJOR=2 -DLINUX_MINOR=4     -c -o test.o test.c
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../minires/libres.a', needed by `svtest'.  Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/data/build/tmp/dhcp-3.0.1rc11/work.linux-2.2/omapip'

make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/build/tmp/dhcp-3.0.1rc11'
ERROR
/data/build/scripts/dhcp install failed
make: *** [install] Error 1

It looks like the detected version of the kernel was 2.2. Going through the configure script on the dhcp package i saw:

2) case $minor in
 0) sysname=linux-2.0 ;;
     1) sysname=linux-2.1 ;;
     2) sysname=linux-2.2 ;;
     *) sysname=linux-2.2 ;;
       esac;; 

so there is no support for linux 2.4? is this a bug on isc dhcp?

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/php/

The changes in this release are as follows:
This version includes bugfixes for the mail()  and
html_entity_decode() functions and a fix for  crash that was
encountered in PHP itself. There  were also several other bugfixes.  

Project description:
PHP is a widely-used Open Source general-purpose scripting language
that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded
into HTML. Its syntax draws upon C, Java, and Perl, and is easy to
learn. PHP runs on many different platforms and can be used as a
standalone executable or as a module under a variety of Web servers.
It has excellent support for databases, XML, LDAP, IMAP, Java,
various Internet protocols, and general data manipulation, and is
extensible via its powerful API. It is actively developed and
supported by a talented and energetic international team. Numerous
Open Source and commercial PHP-based application packages are
available.

Re: [Devil-linux-develop] menuconfig speed

Because it re-executes the program every time you press "select".

Nah, it sucks.  You know it, I know it, I suspect others know it too. :)

I've thought about rewriting it to use the "dialog" I use in the "setup"
program, but that sounds like a lot of work, and there is other stuff
I'd rather do first.  Maybe someday ...

Why have two different options?  Why not add CPU types to the existing
option and compile everything for the same CPU?

We need the highmem support for computers with >= 1 GB RAM, which is not

Should we keep it separated or rather have only one configuration parameter?

I think 1 should be better. We could set then the other one within the 
scripts.

I've added support for EPIA C3-2 CPUs to the build system.

There are only two files modified:

- configuration/prepare.config
added a KERNEL tag to the menuconfig options, so now one could choose the cpu type for the linux kernel.

This is completely independant from the CONFIG_CPU switch. So now we have:

CONFIG_CPU : the command passed to gcc as -march=type
CONFIG_KERNEL_CPU : the string appended to the linux .config file.

- scripts/prepare
one line modified, so $CONFIG_KERNEL_CPU is written to the .config file.

So, as pointed on the kernel mailing list (see the link on prepare.config), for an epia c3-2 motherboard you have to choose CPU=686 and KERNEL=VIAC3-2.

Adding support for athlons (etc) should be very easy...

is everyone happy with this change? it works and it's simple :)

about the config_linux settings for the kernel:

why is this configured:

CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_HIGHIO=y

Support for highmem is only worth when the system has more than 4g, and then, there is a penalty for each page access. also, pages are bigger (so more memory can be dimensioned).

This should be a more practical configuration:

CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM is not set

Just took a look at the LSB sample implementation and I think
that /etc/sysconfig/ is not the right place for this file.
As it is more similar to /etc/fstab I think we really should
place it in /etc.

So rather stay with /etc/lvtab and see if people confuse it or
not.

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] GNU Wget 1.9 released (Default branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '1.9' of 'GNU
Wget' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be
found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/wget/

The changes in this release are as follows:
Many bugfixes since the last public release. The ability to transmit
data with the POST method has been added. IPv6 support is
experimentally available (a more complete implementation is in the
works). The option --timeout now also applies to DNS lookups. The
progress bar has been improved to show download speed over a recent
period, rather than over the average speed of the entire download.
Connecting to FTP sites through FWTK firewalls should now work. It is
possible to turn off DNS caching. Characters in file names are no
longer aggressively %-escaped. 

Project description:
GNU Wget is a utility for noninteractive download of  files from the
Web. It supports HTTP and FTP  protocols, as well as retrieval
through HTTP  proxies. It can follow HTML links, download many 
pages, and convert the links for local viewing. It  can also mirror
FTP hierarchies or only those files  that have changed. Wget has been
designed for  robustness over slow network connections; if a 
download fails due to a network problem, it will  keep retrying until
the whole file has been  retrieved.

Actually I prefer the @
/etc/sysconfig/lvm@bs@smartass@

/etc/sysconfig/lvm
or
/etc/sysconfig/lvmtab

was my suggestion ;-)

The new board (CL one) with two network interfaces is the perfect small motherboard.

2 ATA133/6 usb2.0/1 firewire/1Ghz/not-so-bad-AGP-VGA/crappy AC97 sound/very small form factor.

I'm going to add a pci prism2.5 board and a little couple of hds (320Gb) so it would be my storage server :)

I'll boot it from usb, with dl, of course. The problem with the cpu was that old motherboards didn't support xchg instructions, and many software (like openssl) will fail to run.

Because of that, a proper entry has been added to the kernel cpu options. In old kernels, you should build them as 386.

Also:

Could be easily customized so you could turn your DL version into a:

Lotus Notes Server
Firewall (with secure tunneling [freeswan, openvpn])
DNS Server (bind, djbdns)
Email Server (smtp+pop+webmail [qmail,fetchmail,squirrel,qpopper])

I would say we don't give a choice to the user, it's always /var.
1) variable data has to be under /var
2) mount point must exist and we can only create them in /var, since the
CD is read-only

Currently only the selection of Intel CPUs is possible.
You can do the following trick:
Let "make build" run until it comes to compiling GCC and then stop it.
Go to build/tmp/linux-2.4.22 and change the value in the .config file.
This will only change the Kernel, so I would suggest that you select in
menuconfig 486.
